Question

I want to know how to generate time and date in C# then format that value to Mysql.

Mysql supports this format: 0000-00-00 00:00:00.

More information – I am importing datetime from mysql, and saving it in sqlite as Text I want to update datetime in sqlite when a event happens, then I sync data back to mysql.

What is the best format to run queries in sqlite on datatime?

I would like to keep the same format: 0000-00-00 00:00:00.

Does it need to be converted to anything else native to C# or and Sqlite Database and then converted back to mysql data when synced?

Just looking for the best option.

For first question you could use

DateTime time = DateTime.Now;              
    string format = "yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss";   
    var mytime = time.ToString(format);
